Question

According to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range, 20% to 35% of the total daily caloric intake should come from fat. If Marcus is on a 3500-kilocalorie diet, how many kilocalories should he obtain from dietary fat?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 700 to 1225 kilocalories.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Marcus consumes 3500 kilocalories per day on his diet, to know how many kilocalories from fat he should consume, we have to calculate how many kilocalories represent the 20% and 35% of 3500:

By rule of 3:

(20 x 3500)/100 = 700

(35 x 3500)/100 = 1225
